I move amendment No. 48:

In page 57, between lines 20 and 21, to insert the following:

“Continued application of section 5 of Part 1 of Act of 2000 for certain purposes

13. (1) Notwithstanding the repeal of section 5 of Part I of the Act of 2000 effected by section 6, that Chapter shall, to the extent that it applied to a declaration, direction, referral, request or review immediately before that repeal, continue to apply and have effect in relation to each such—

(a) declaration, review or referral pending immediately before that repeal,

(b) direction or request made (but not fully complied with) before that repeal, and

(c) a matter which was initiated under section 5 of the Act of 2000, shall be entitled to continue to be processed under the provisions of section 5 of the Act of 2000 and chapter III of Part VI of the Act of 2000 and sections 50, 50A and 50B of the Act of 2000, as may be required, irrespective of whether these provisions have been repealed or not.

(2) Regulations under section 142 and otherwise relevant under the Act of 2000 shall, to such extent only as is necessary for the purposes of subsection (1), continue in force and have effect on and after the repeal of that section by section 6.”.
